Crafty and cozy street artist Ishknits has struck again, this time on Philadelphia’s Blue Line Train. Blast that Ishknits! Destroying the mundanity of mass transit with snuggly sweaters, preventing weary riders from sliding to-and-fro! More pics of this latest project after the jump.

    Wonder how long it will last before some kid destroys it, or some officious jerk decides it’s not up to code. :(

    Most of the “yarn bombs” around Philly get destroyed pretty quickly which makes me wish these people would jus use proper finishing techniques. They’d be much harder to destroy or remove if the seams were right and the gauge made sense.

    Oh man, my inner knitter is showing.

    How great is this?! When will she do a lamppost cozy? They always look so cold out there.

    This would be more awesome if she knitted herself a superhero cape while she did this.
